How many sockpuppet accounts do they have? How many upvoats can they give themselves? How to downvoats 'confine' BS posts to New? What happens if it is 'simply' ignored?

I've not ever DVed anything on VOAT. I'm very discriminating with my UVs. And I ignore a LOT of BS.

You ask:

"Does anyone think the above legit?"

Legit what? Legit BS? Legit argument? Clearly it doesn't constitute legit argument. Leans toward BS. There's always a little truth in the best of lies. Does it divide? Yes. Does it denigrate? Yes. Does it promote or substantiate Logic or Reason? Not that I can see. Does it fit the 'guidelines' on shillery? Absolutely. Does it call for sticky-type attention? Mmmm... I'm not sure.

The double bind of moderation sucks. Each of us carries a heavy burden. And each of us carries it differently. Concernfagging is a bitch. I get it, though. You all are trying to take care of the less-enlightened while simultaneously allowing (???) controversial/challenging content. Good luck with that -- especially in these days of free speech absolutism and just-waking participants.

"Anti-Q/Anti-Trump psyop..."

Kind of reminds me of Christians -- while claiming to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God -- lamenting the removal of prayer and God from schools (and other places). How is that even possible? The existence and efficacy of Q and the purported Q Team (inarguably) remains to be seen. Either The Team AND POTUS Trump can and will fight this fight . . . or not.

I suppose I should obligatorily declare that I am a "one man show," and am not involved in any conspiracy or psychological operation (i.e. psyop). Just here enjoying the show.

Be well. Best to you and yours.

"How is that even possible?"

Maybe God is not omnipotent, omnipresent or omniscient and requires human cooperation along with faithfull angels/messengers providing him with reliable information?

Granted. Maybe that is the way it is. But that's not what I was referring to. My question -- not that it matters -- is how can those who declare the 3 Os (omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence) fret the removal of god from anything?

I appreciate the feedback. Best to you and yours. Be well.

Your question definitely matters. If you care to go any further you may take a look at this seminar section on the subject. Best to yours as well.

Seminar?

thewordis ago

Well, a section of a seminar. The entire seminar is 24 hours long and is titled "One Day With The Creator." The section I linked is called "God's Forknowledge And Man's Free Will" and runs about 45 minutes.

4TheRepublic ago

Ok. Thnx. Could just be me...I'm not seeing a link. I'll search for it.

4TheRepublic ago

Thousands.

How to downvoats 'confine' BS posts to New?

They can push anything they want to the front at any time.

What happens if it is 'simply' ignored?

They take more and more until this place is nothing but what they want it to be. No original thoughts because the people that post them have been cowed into silence by manipulated votes.

I'm not here to wax philosophical with you or anyone. This is how things are going to go because I know what happens to subs that just ignore what these shills do.

Really big subs that are reduced to barely double-digit activity because "we can discern what's true and what isn't for ourselves, it's not your job to protect us".

And yet, I could have, and the places would still be thriving.

I don't care if you believe my anecdote, and I don't care if you want to split hairs on what "legit" means.

I will protect this place regardless of you or anyone else's opinions on the subject.

Thank you

Thank you !

One more thing... If you regret my recent "admission to the fold," feel free to ban me. I don't harbor grudges. Wouldn't know what to do with one if I had it.

4TheRepublic ago

Another "one more thing" ... Check with puttitout, he can confirm that this is my only account. No sockpuppet. No downvoats. Just me. Honest and outspoken. (or 'outwritten') Putt and I have had some good chats, too.

4TheRepublic ago

Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.

I primarily meant to be 'waxing practical', not philosophical. But I don't know how to effectively or definitively separate the two.

Let me be clearer. I respect your predicament. Maybe you missed this part?

"The double bind of moderation sucks. Each of us carries a heavy burden. And each of us carries it differently. Concernfagging is a bitch. I get it, though. You all are trying to take care of the less-enlightened while simultaneously allowing (???) controversial/challenging content.

I wasn't labeling you as a concernfag. Just saying.

You wrote:

Really big subs come. Really big subs go. The tide ebbs. The tide flows. Is that philosophy or practicality? Mere musing? Or Reality?

If you are 'invested' in this /v/, I respect that. Apparently you are invested...

"I will protect this place regardless of you or anyone else's opinions on the subject."

...and I respect that.

Let me know if/how I can assist. But you probably need to know that I'm a damned BOOMER who has been fighting this fight for decades.

Again... Best to you and yours. (no /s)

Apologies if I read your words through the lens of someone dealing with another in myriad all-out assaults against this sub, and you were not on that side of things.
